That was an amazing story. Great plot and storyline. Angel was so changed, but Buffy was Buffy ... and once again, she saved the day.

Thanks for sharing.

Read this over the course of two days, bearly putting it down for a minute I loved Buffy/Angel, this is so very much what should have happened. You've got the dialogue, characterizations, awesome vampire exterminations I know this is an older story of yours but I don't know a better way to thank you for this. Amazing I would have paid a hardback book cover price for this, and I never buy hardbacks. Stupendous and brilliant.

This is an absolutely beautiful story! I have a hard time deciding what part of this story was my favorite, so I'll just say all of it. I was drawn in and I'm glad to say I had a thrilling ride reading this. The plot twists were original, unexpected, and intriguing.
The world you've created is frightening, depicting what happens when vampires get out of control but more than that, what happens when people in power become corrupt. There's a harsh reality in the way most people had to live with such fear and poverty while the few lived in their splendid palace. Buffy's speech to the Council was powerful and perfect. Also, I liked that not all the Watchers were bad. It was a good distinction to draw, that not all of them were corrupt, that some of them wanted to do good in the world.
I love the OCs you've populated this world with as well. It's tough for me to open my heart to OCs in fanfics (probably because they're done badly too often), but your OCs are fantastic and lovable, just like the canon characters. Sumiko and Agatha were my favorite; Sumiko for her compassion and for her awesome deception (yay Sun Tzu lessons!) and Agatha for her Victorian modesty and loyalty. Poor Sky… She was never the villain, just a pawn in the hands of Markwith and the other Watchers in on the secret. I was literally at the edge of my seat when she faced off with Buffy and the ensuing chaos that followed. And poor Tam… She was ready to do so much good, but she died for them. Sad.
Your characterization of Buffy is spot-on. The humor and wit is all there as well as her self-sacrificing, rebellious nature. I could hear Buffy’s voice in my head, always a good sign for a character being very in-character. Angel’s characterization was just as amazing.
I’d be remiss to not mention the Buffy/Angel. You did a magnificent job developing their relationship as they worked through the years that separated them. The rhythm of fluff and angst was expertly handled, capturing the essence of the romance. Plus, all those hot moments. Though I suspected Buffy had a plan up her sleeve at the trial (and I even thought that she’d soaked the stake in the Mohra blood yay for early foreshadowing with the holy water stake soaking advice earlier), I could feel my heart being torn every time Buffy had to plunge the stake into Angel’s flesh. Powerful stuff. I’m glad they got their happy ending.
Overall, a fantastically written fic with some of the best characterizations I’ve ever seen, a wonderful cast of OCs, and a plot that kept me glued to my computer!

It's very weird to say I just discovered you. I should let you know that I found you via the Better Buffy Fiction Archives. As best as I can tell, most of the stories there ended around 2005. I don't think any of them came to FF, although I haven't tested that theory past you. There was an author who went by the name Indie and was brilliant.

Anyways, the point I am failing to make is that I loved this AU and I plan on doing the rest of your BtVS later.
Thank you.

When I first started reading this, I abandoned it after the second chapter. I was in a shipping mood, so once I realized there would be no Giles and no Spike I was like, no way! A month later I reconsidered, thinking you didn’t get all this interest for nothing...and I’m glad I did You have created your own world within the Buffyverse and it feels SO REAL. Painfully tragically real. I love so much about it. The skillfully crafted OCs (and I usually hate OCs), the intriguing plot twists (killing off Kean to make way for a Bigger Bad) and the social commentary (environmentalism, politics, celebrity)...

I also appreciate how you draw from Angel’s history as well as Buffy’s- Cordelia, Wes, Lorne, Fred, Doyle, Gunn...and their intersecting stories, too (but how could he forget that there was no way she could remember their time in L.A?)...makes me nostalgic for the show
This is a stroke of fanfic genius. Thank you.

Amazing. I couldn't stop reading! Your story is extremely well written and managed to create characters that made the story fantastic. You didn't even use most of the canon characters and it was still amazing!
So in summary: awesome, in the literal translation)

Awesome, well-thought out story. An excellent read.

This is probably the best BtVS fanfiction I have ever read. Very well written.

Oh. My. Goddess. That was a gorram roller-coaster! I mean, really, wow.

I swear I don't know where to start. I've stayed up till 3 am reading this and it has blown me away. I've been laughing, crying (tears running down my cheeks), squealing with joy, "aww"-ing at mush, hyperventilating, cheering and jumping up and down in my seat. Which, now that I think about it is all the things a REALLY good, A-grade, BtVS or AtS episode can make me do.

So, breaking it down. Now, usually I'd take notes but you had me fully caught up in the story, so I'll have to do this from memory. Firstly, I loved the way you put this universe together, the details and revelations along the way, the different character and plot-lines. You really pulled off the whole Future/AU setting, not something every author can do.

I also loved your B/A. The mush and the heartbreak, staples of good B/A (well that and smut. but I can easily forgive it's omission). And boy, was there ever heartbreak. I was crying as we first saw Angel and his 'indifference'. And every time he talked about forgetting something about her... But it was realistic, I mean 350 years! We'd all like an immediate make-up kiss (or make-up make-out) but you can understand Angel's point of view. Plus with the whole curse issue you can see why he wouldn't want to fall back it love with Buff. But it's a futile gesture
Beyond all the lovely B/A there were many interesting OC's. I was so pleased about Sumiko, she was my favourite by far. When she was singing to Buffy? So sweet. I was really upset when it looked like she was being misled. And her composure when she gave the big reveal while everyone else was in confusion was pretty damn awesome.

I could gush more but sleeping has suddenly become very important Thanks for the amazing read!

What an amazing story! truly original and lovely. i wish there was an epilogue though. this was great!

Thsi story was utterly fantastic!My only complaint is that it ended So many great things, made me sad and happy and had me sitting on the edge of my seat from chapter one. Exquisite!

My first buffy fic in a long time! I wonder who the romance guy will be

Does anyone read these stories anymore? *sigh
I've been on a rampage reading Buffy&Angel stories for months now. Though I'm a novice in reading fanfic, I've managed to find some good stuff too
But this one is simply AMAZING! Buffy's character her bravery, her humor, her rebellious nature, her capacity for self-sacrifice it's all here. Same goes for Angel. If I had to give out more compliments*sighs again I'd have to say this story is in the best spirit of the early seasons of BTVS, before all the mess ensued.

And the post-apocalyptic scenery is well thought out. Guess we inhabitants of the early 21. century really are suckers for that. So the story works well in the SF sense too.

Oh, no! I have more compliments! This story really deserves being published properly. It's professionally written, it sucks the reader in, and it delivers the final pleasure of closure. Any good story, as a well wrought urn, has an opening at the end. It's not a cliffhanger, but a point of departure for the ultimate reading joy imagination.

And, dearest author, just in case you still take a peak at these reviews, thank you very much for this wonderful gift)

beautiful ending. this truly made me tear up! well done!

I have no words, it was brilliant, amazing, beautiful, incredible, i just... so verry wonderful. I wish it were a book binded and all so i could turn the pages and put in on my bookshelf :D

Again it was amazing along with any other brillaint words that there is
on the count of two...
